10 Things To Know About Elimination Diets

8. What Are Some Benefits?

An elimination diet is a useful tool to get to the root of dysfunction in the body. Changing your eating instead of depending on medications can also be more healthy overall. The method is a natural, sustainable approach to easing symptoms of GERD, IBS, or other autoimmune disorders such as rheumatoid arthritis or eczema. You might also discover that you begin incorporating more of the allowed foods even after your diet returns to normal. Some people who finish elimination diets not only find their symptoms alleviated, but have discovered new food preferences, too.
